Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Alfa Romeo Giullia Luso Ti Owners

These checks follow this Alfa Romeo Giullia Luso Ti's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Alfa Romeo Giullia Luso Ti.

  • the lights — “headlamp aim too high”

    Switch everything on and walk round the car: both headlamps on dip and main, every indicator, both brake lights, reverse, fog and the two number-plate lamps. A bulb is a few pounds and a five-minute job.

  • the brakes — “brake pads incorrectly mounted”

    Look through the spokes of each wheel at the pad — less than 3mm of friction material, or a lip on the disc edge, is the usual failure. Check the handbrake holds on a slope with a few clicks, not at the top of its travel.

  • the suspension joints — “linkage ball joints ball joint excessively worn”

    With the car parked on level ground, rock the top of each front wheel in and out while someone watches the suspension arm. Clunks, or rubber boots split and greasy, are what testers record here.

Derived from the DVSA failure strings testers recorded for the Alfa Romeo Giullia Luso Ti. A check that finds nothing means the item is likely fine, not that the test is guaranteed.
